Madame Clinton has stated clearly that the lies and diversions that the Obama administration forwarded in the days after the Benghazi attack and brutal murders of our Libyan Ambassador and three other Americans is of no concern. In her own words; "What difference, at this point does it make?" My, oh my! This is quite the statement from one, who as a Senator was constantly harassing the former administration. This was her right as a member of the United States Congress constitutionally given oversight of the very Executive branch that she now finds herself an employee of. But, my how the times have changed.
You know, it's much easier to throw stones than it is to dodge them, but that's beside the point. Our current president, who was also a Senator during Madam Clinton's tenure and also ardently opposed the former administration, promised transparency to the American people when he ran for office. I don't know why anyone would believe a promise of transparency by someone who spent millions of dollars concealing much of his past, but that's another story that has been covered by many and ignored by the Main Stream Media. However, I want to focus on the here and now and in particular on what Madam Clinton believes doesn't matter, then I'll use her very argument to illustrate the sheer hypocrisy of many liberal/progressive/socialist claims.

What difference does it make? Madam Clinton I believe that lying to anyone is wrong and I particularly think that a government, whose main function is to represent the people that allow themselves to be governed, would lie to them is abhorrent. Susan Rice went on, not one, not two, but three Sunday morning shows and stated that the attack was in response "to a video". You yourself mentioned on several occasions that it was due to a video and your boss, the President of the United States made the very same statement. It was a lie Madam Clinton; a lie designed to deflect and cover for something.
"Bush Lied People Died!" Madam Clinton, you and those who you align yourself with politically used this very line for years. It was mere political speech because there were WMDs in Iraq. Hussein gassed the Kurds in the late 80s; it's documented fact and he had plenty of gas stored for the future. Tons of "yellowcake" were taken from Iraq after the fall of the government. But, even if it's true that "Bush Lied People Died!"

There are four dead Americans and one of them was our official representative in that country. Not only were they killed, but our ambassador was brutalized and raped before he died. The other three died protecting the ambassador and defending the consulate. The Ambassador had sent cable after cable to the State Department begging for more security at the consulate; he never got it. When the consulate asked for backup when the assault began.... they never got it. By the way Madam Clinton, who gave the order to stand down? Why wasn't, at the very least, an F16 or C130 Gunship flying low within minutes of the attack?
We're finally on our own.
This summer I hear the drumming,
Gotta get down to it
Soldiers are gunning us down
Should have been done long ago.
What if you knew her
And found her dead on the ground
How can you run when you know?~

The filmmaker, that made the so called "inflammatory video", a naturalized American citizen has been harassed by the federal government since this incident. His arrest was televised. The last I heard he is still in prison for "parole violations". I wonder if he would have been put in jail for these parole violations had he not made this video? Somehow I think not. That's a very good use of federal power; harassing citizens for exercising their 1st Amendment rights. The administration should be proud. that they are following in the footsteps of the former administration.
~After being targeted by the federal government for years of scrutinizing former President George W. Bush’s handling of foreign affairs in Iraq and Afghanistan, Juan Cole — professor of Middle Eastern and South Asian history — instigated a formal investigation of the administration claiming it unlawfully sought personal information about him.
University officials and professors said that his blog, the Informed Comment, is protected under the first amendment right to free speech, and that the U.S. government is violating his constitutional rights by embarking upon a personal investigation of Cole for the blog entries he wrote regarding the war.~

It's fact that the administration lied to the American people. The UN Ambassador did, you did, several others within the administration did and the President did as well. Governments that lie really shouldn't be trusted by the people who they represent because a lie is nothing more than a cover; it is used to conceal something, otherwise there would be no reason to lie. You are hiding something Madam Clinton. We don't know what it is, but we know that the administration is hiding something from the American people. I wonder, "What did the president know and when did he know it?"

Madam Clinton, I agree with Rand Paul. When he said that you should have been relieved of your post for the failures under your watch, he was dead on. You are either incompetent or a liar and America deserves better. It doesn't appear that we're going to get anything much better in the near future, but we'll have to deal with what comes our way as Americans have done for over 200 years now. I hope you run for president in 2016, because I believe that after your defeat America will never have to put up with you again. As a man of faith I recognize that the wicked prosper, for a time and then their time is no more. There is a special place reserved for liars, schemers and corrupt people like you. I'll just have to be content with that knowledge for the time being.
